So I saw this article on Google News today: Voters welcome ban on illegal immigrant leases. Basically, what this is saying is that in Farmers Branch, Tx, 7 out of 10 of the residents think it should be illegal for a landlord to rent a house or apartment to an illegal immigrant. While I can understand this, and realize that it creates a strain on public services, and I even sympathize; putting all this into a law seems wrong to me. I don't really know why, except, to paraphrase that Blue Collar Comedy guy, "Heres' your sign:"


Thought we were over that kind of thing.
